“Now in Wave 8, the Rebels get the Braha’tok Dornean Gunships....”

"Introducing the Rebel Light Gunship expansion, featuring the new Dornean Gunship and Braha'tok Gunship ship cards..."

And then people will end up calling it moon-moon

Or the "sideways hammerhead corvette."

My only "issue" with the Dornean Gunship is that, while I like the model and want all canon ships represented in the game, I have a hard time seeing how it would add anything new or interesting to the Rebel lineup. They already have two corvettes in the CR90 and the HH, and the HH already struggles greatly to be at all relevant. How do you add a Dorean gunship that doesn't either get out-competed by the CR90/HH or replace the CR90/HH at its role, since both outcomes would be bad?

For the Rebellion, therefore, there are several other ships I'd rather see represented first.

Make it a flak-ship, with a powerful anti-squadron armament.

Alternatively, a dedicated long-ranged support, with a ton of blue dice.

I love this idea, and it gave me an idea for a possible errata for Flotillas...

Allow Squadrons to use anti-squadron attack dice against Flotillas. Suddenly you can send a single yt2400 or firespray off to hunt down those relay Flotillas, with a reasonable chance of success!

I would also be in favor of it being the first ship with a Squadron value of 0!

I agree with this. Completely.

If shipyards made turds...

What is it called? Where is it from?

I like it: It bears more than a passing resemblance to Ralph McQuarrie's early concept art for the Millenium Falcon. ..but don't worry, Princess Leia wasn't impressed with her first view of the Falcon either

It also reminds me of the early Star Wars Marvel (70s/80s) comic illustrations for the Rebel Fleet.
